More about Anthony

  • 3 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

As a licensed therapist, I specialize in creating a compassionate and affirming space for members of the Latino and LGBTQIA+ communities and their allies. I deeply understand the complexities of cultural and personal identity that shape your experience. Taking this step toward healing is vulnerable, and I'm committed to ensuring you feel seen, heard, and valued throughout our sessions. I look forward to supporting your growth.

Therapy is a safe, affirming, and empathetic space where you are seen and heard. I use active listening and cultural humility, focusing on the unique identities and challenges of the Latino & LGBTQIA+ communities and their allies. Our integrative approach is tailored to your specific goals, fostering an empowering and collaborative relationship.

Starting therapy is brave. Our first session is a warm, safe, and affirming space dedicated to building trust and clarifying your goals. We'll discuss your history, strengths, and concerns to create a preliminary plan. I work to ease any awkwardness; this is a collaborative process. We'll lay the foundation for your journey toward growth.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
